In many ways, Squad Killer is a true retro experience. Not only does it look like something straight out of the 1980s – with its two-tone 8-bit visuals – it plays like it too. There is no story or set-up. Just you and seventeen rooms full of enemies, obstacles and bullets. You’ll need to clear

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… In the months running up to the release of Ori And The Will Of The Wisps last year, I was gripped by an irrational fear. I’d loved Moon Studio’s first Ori adventure, Ori And The Blind

Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the cult classic Game Boy Advance title Mother 3.

Okay, okay, before we begin, we have to admit: the title isn’t totally factual. This Super Mario Bros. video is technically just an animation, programmed into Minecraft through clever use of Command Blocks, and the only interaction you have with it is pressing the “play” button. We’re very sorry for the little white lie. I
Skin Deep was announced back in 2018. It’s the next game from Brendon Chung, the developer of Quadrilateral Cowboy and Thirty Flights Of Loving, and it’s a first-person shooter in which you can alert enemies accidentally by sneezing.

Hold on to your butts, because palaeontology is about to get wacky.

When Ubisoft announced this month that they would close online services for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (and a few other tactical shooters), it was a surprise for two reasons. One, it’s still a great game! Two, many players were under the belief that Ubisoft had already closed its servers, because it’s been unplayable since December.
Jeff Kaplan has a lot of strings to his bow, but now he’s bowing out.
